"Here’s a very good rule of thumb in politics: losing begets losing." ― John Podhoretz Topic(s): Politics More From John Podhoretz "What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films – their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil." "Pop culture is a reflection of social change, not a cause of social change." "Barack Obama is one of the greatest politicians in American history."

There are too many variables in the real world that you simply can’t put into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets spit out results from your inexact assumptions and give you a false sense of security. In most cases, your heart and gut are still your best guide."― Naveen Jain "Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that’s always going to change, and love is never going to change."― Enrique Iglesias
